Another Meater cook, easy peasy. I pulled my bolted spinach and managed to get enough for one last tasty feast.

Ready to grill.

I think I had a sprinkling of garlic, purple crack, pepper and thyme.

Thanks all, I need to work on the salsa and condiments, very happy with the meat and tortillas.
 
Has anyone else watched the series on tacos? It’s about the different styles from different countries. Makes me super hungry every time I watch a show like that!

It's on my list to watch. Steak Revolution was excellent too, although it's not on Netflix Australia anymore.

Feeding Laurie's church today. Four pork butts in bourbon sauce, pot beans, cole slaw. Dry rub was California and Guajillo chiles, salt, pepper, and pimenton. We'll serve butt mixed with sauce on buns (sloppy joe style).

I used dry ice to chill the six quarts of bourbon sauce, from a liter of bourbon. Fun play break (the dog was concerned) but next time I'll stick to conventional ice.

I thought this main grill mound of four butts was being clever, and I'd do it again, but it has unintended consequences. That's more thermal mass on the main grill than I'm used to, causing a greater disparity between a pit probe reading anchored to that grill, and a pit probe reading through the Tel-Tru dome hole. More reliable to just cook with the dome hole, and make adjustments as needed.

Also, the mound has a greater "effective mass" than a single ten pound butt, and so it cooks slower. 19 hours at 225 F is not enough. Though, as I've said before, I think the "disintegrating rope" standard for pulled pork is a scam, and I've never had decent pulled pork commercially in the Carolinas. I'd rather undershoot, than dry out the butts this way. Mine are more work to pull, but I like the juicy, tender result.

Still, I'll move up from 225 F to somewhere near the recently more popular 275 F next year, and we'll figure out how to adjust the timing.

The pot clamped for travel is the 22 quart Optio Sauce Pot 3095, our favorite big pot. There's a shorter version, but too short to cook four pounds of pot beans. After a brief hard boil, the beans simmered overnight in a 240 F oven.

Mac another great cook! It’s making my mouth water, such wonderful pictures. How’s the heat wave going any cooling off yet?

Thanks, Bruce, the good news is there are no calories from the pixs. LOL 

I think the heat wave is breaking, we just now had a thunder storm with rain so hopefully the temp. will drop out of the 90s. :-D

"God bless you", thought that might be appropriate since it was a church related event. Introducing John Barleycorn through the back door, you little devil. All kidding aside Syzygies that looks good with an effort factor of 10. Hope you brewed a pot of coffee for that trip or maybe sipped on a little sauce to bring you back. Nice bark.

Well, our heat wave here broke over night. Dropped 20F since yesterday! I was pouring beer at an outdoor homebrew festival over in the Quad Cities yesterday and the heat index at 2pm was 107F!! Front came through late afternoon and it starting dropping in temp and there was a breeze that really helped during taking down the bar and tent.

This morning I found another treasure at the bottom of the freezer and it wasn't fish. It turned out to be chicken and garlic sausages from 2015. WOW. I decided to make patties with the sausage meat and do a Mac & Cheese. Everything was cooked on the KK and the MAc & Cheese was browned under the stove broiler. I did add 3 or 4 Thai hot chili peppers to the mac & cheese, that turned out to be a nice touch.

Yes, Netflix seem to be pushing the taco show quite hard at the moment.  We have watched the first couple of episodes.  What I found remarkable was how one of varieties of taco meat is what we call a doner here in the UK.  Our local kebab shop makes their own chicken doner, piling marinated boneless chicken thighs on top of each other to make a tower of deliciousness.  Texan friend is due back from the US soon with some soft corn tortillas.  I think I might pop down to the kebab shop for some of their doner and simulate a late night drunken snack in my own home.

Two things to stop Mac.  First stop posting mouth watering photos of food that interfere with my breakfast.  Second, stop hoarding food.  Next time you find a fish or sausage at the bottom of your freezer from more than two years ago, you have my permission to chuck it.  I want you stay alive and I don't really mind if you ignore my first rule.
